## Resource

Colombia’s cultural flame is roaring back in Kansas City as the Colombia Cultural Association revives its annual festival, timed perfectly with rising community pride sparked by recent soccer matches and a vibrant local scene. Orlando Gutierrez credits summer sports events for energizing the city’s Colombian presence, while Gustavo Restrepo reveals last year’s pause was due to external climate pressures — now resolved with a triumphant return for Independence Day. The mission remains unchanged: to share Colombia’s soul with all Kansans, keeping traditions alive through music, food, and stories. For locals like David Campuzano, it’s more than celebration — it’s a lifeline to heritage, family, and identity.
